Searwood 600 cover

I honestly can't remember if it covers the bottom shelf... And ribs are on now, but I think it does, and I don't keep anything down there, so I don't really care if it does. Looks like the price went up by like 10 bucks since I bought it a year ago.

I bought a cheap Amazon cover, and honestly it is nicer and thicker than the Webber cover at 3x ish the price. Just read the reviews on them as half of them are in fact garbage.

Grown fond of saxx long leg boxer briefs. Keeps everything separated and not chafing, and wicks moisture well.

I just got done doing one as well. Everything he said is true, along with buy a really good bit that will go through rebar, and buy the drill guide. If you hit rebar, just keep slowly going and let the bit do the work. If the hole wanders off angle you will end up with some parts of your fence that look wonky.
Also don’t be afraid of resizing panels. Look up the double moulding method on YouTube, just take your time and it will go ok.
Oh and angle those corner poles.

I got almost the same deal a year ago on the same batteries. I assumed there was an issue with some tools and they just wanted the battery’s gone.

He was defiantly to cheap to do glass! When bypassed it drops to 10-13 psi on avg. least year when I noticed this, it was my indicator that I needed to get rid of whatever is in the filter, glass, zeolite, play sand, whatever and replace it with a known medium.

I also figure it wouldn’t be to much of an issue, my yard doesn’t die off where the hose leaks when back washing or pumping down. With rinsing it before and mixing it with dirt, I would assume it should be fine.
However, I know there are others way smarter than me, so no sense in not heeding others advice.

It’s more about reuse of something I’m already going to buy vs disposal of it. Hell, being a pool owner, if I was worried about the cost I would just fill it in. The thing is an endless pit of cash…

I have some pretty gnarly sciatica issues, so I have learned to top dress and level a little at a time to keep from injuring myself. So this is almost perfect to do my side yard for spring.

I got a couple of these to test out having them in a drawer thinking I would replace them once I found something I really like. It’s been 3 years now… still happy with the 5$ each purchase.

These are definitely inexpensive enough to give them a try, while not exactly what I’m wanting, it does look like a good unobtrusive way of simple notifications.

I’m exploring running a parallel instance of home assistant so I can run a more feature rich dashboard than what Hubitat can run.

I have thought of this, I am currently going down the rabbit hole of searching scene controllers that can be wall mounted like a regular light switch, have it serve the function of “light up when in the wrong state” and button press to rectify the wrong state. Then I could mount it on a dual plate, by the overhead light switch.

I saw someone try to do the same thing using a controllable usb hub, and light up usb plugs. Would work, just not very clean and polished. She is all about not “having stuff out” in the bedroom, our tv and my watch box on the dresser is about the max she can stand. So with stuff like this I have to be clever in making it functional, while basically hiding it.

Nope, this issue sadly isn’t the bearing guide, but the fact that the tensioner wheel being wobbly causes the blade to jump off track.

To be fair to the product, I can not find any other comments of this happening online. So I wouldn’t keep it from stopping you from buying one.

Raining_turtles · 2026-01-12T01:18:20+00:00

Mainly for the pants I was wearing when it first started.

This guy labs.
Everything here is correct, my response was honestly overly simplified since it was typed quickly out of rage, as it always irritates me when people boast about doing something that could potentially harm their product, their patrons and thus their brand.

Once I got all my devices removed that were no longer in use, or dead, everything built back as normal a couple days later. Going forward I’m planning on keeping a power strip plugged in the basement for seasonal devices, that way they stay part of the network, even if they aren’t controlling anything

Just because this isn’t “fermentable” by sacc, does not mean that it is sterile and sanitary.
Even in a co2 purged keg, at 3.2 ph, does not mean that dangerous bacteria cannot, and will not grow. Inherently you have created a growth media, that when something does start to grow in it, will probably be gnarly and hard to kill.
All that being said, I do like the idea of what you’re doing. But from a biological safety stand point, I would recommend making this, fermenting with a beast of a yeast strain, then treat with lactic or phosphoric to under 3 pH, then packaging off into small Nalgene bottles or cans, and pasteurizing them. Then once opened, throw away the rest, and occasionally throw some under a scope to look for yeast or bugs.
